Nissan R33 Skyline GtS25T Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric given 93% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Had a set of these fitted to the rear of my car around 5k miles ago and it transformed it completely, especially in the wet. My car has a reasonable amount of power through the rear wheel and even in wet weather the back is still nice and planted. Dry weather conditions are as expected and seem to hold from word go, and still hold after a long enthusiastic drive. By far these are the best tyres ive ever had. ?150 / corner but worth every penny! As for wear i couldn't say yet but there is still plenty of tread left. As earlier mentioned its worth reiterating, these tyres are not only "poor" in snow ice but completely and utterly useless. But given "normally" theres only a few weeks of snow a year this is something i can live with and take the bus instead :(.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU39 given 91% (225-40-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 spirited miles
I have to admit I wasn't expecting the maximum performance of these tyres because I came from the (briljant) Michelin Pilot sports,
but I'm just baffled of these tyres

first note has to go to the extremly well balanced and quite factor,
they are silent and absolutley perfeclty manufactured.

Grip is heaps better then expected and must say they are a definte re-buy,
to be honest I'm thinking of ditching the semi-worn bridgestone potenza's on the rear and get new kuhmo's on the rear also, just completely amazed by these tyres.

Car type - Nissan Skyline R33 (338HP)

Driving on mostly country roads for 40 spirited miles
The amount of grip generated by these tyres is remarkable especially in the wet, I drive a lot of twisty roads and have the confidence to push the limits of them without fear. Instant turn in without any hassle and very stable even under heavy load. Done a couple of trackdays with them as well and they have lasted well, they usually last around 15,000 on the front and about 12,000 at the rear. An absolutly fantastic tyre that I will not hesitate to buy again

Driving on mostly motorways for 8000 average miles
The worst Tyre I have bought in 30 years, The rear tyres were bald after 12,500km and the front tyres replaced 3000km later. A close eye was kept on pressure

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta 712 given 34% (225-50-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Well what can i say except that this tyre is a true 'Ditch-Finder'.
In the dry its no better than average.
In the wet on an R33 Skyline GTsT its downright dangerous.
Heres what happens, on a motorway in the wet u can't go above 60mph cos if u do, any hint of a bend and the back end of the car just started to slide! And i tried this one bend a few times and it did it everytime in the wet.
Thankfully these tyres are no longer available.
There is a budget brand by the name of 'Admiral' who are selling a tyre with the same name and tread and i think if you value your life, its best to avoid that also.

But Kumho have redeemed themselves with the KU31 which offers about 70% of the performance of a big brand tyre and at about half the price.
